 White House acknowledges Biden could get COVID, stresses he’s vaccinated
by Alex Gangitano - 04/08/22 10:16 AM ET

The White House on Friday acknowledged President Biden could get COVID-19 amid an uptick in positive cases surrounding the president but stressed he has taken steps to protect himself.

“We take every precaution to ensure that we keep him safe, we keep the vice president safe, the first lady, the second gentleman, our staff here. But it is certainly possible that he will test positive for COVID, and he is vaccinated, he is boosted and protected from the most severe strains of the virus,” White House communications director Kate Bedingfield said.

Biden’s last COVID-19 test on Wednesday evening, part of his regular testing routine, came back negative.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) tested positive for COVID-19 early Thursday after she was with Biden at the White House and at times in very close proximity on Wednesday.

The White House has dismissed concerns that Biden is at risk of catching the virus from Pelosi, arguing he was not considered a close contact of Pelosi’s as defined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) because they spent less than 15 minutes in close proximity to each other.

Yes, because the microscopic 'rona droplets are verrrryyyy slow-moving. They can take days to travel three inches.

That's quite possibly the stupidest thing I've read. In the time Pelosi did her little air kiss thing, considering they were only inches apart, the virus very easily could have jumped from her gaping craw to Biden's nose or mouth. Good grief.

I think you hit the truth nail on the head on another thread @mountaineer when you pointed out Pelosi could well be using this 'positive" test as a way to comply with her Chinese masters and not travel to Taiwan this weekend.

If Biden doesn't test positive after all his so-called exposure, we'll know you were right.

My prediction, if "they" ever decide to get rid of Biden, the reason given will be a "sudden health crisis". I had thought it would be a stroke or heart attack, but a bad case of Covid could work too.

Traitor Joe said if you're vaccinated you can't get the china plague. This might be a new vaccine resistant variant that only attacks politicians.

This country might have a chance, yet.
